The depot support requirements for the avionic systems peculiar to the P-3C aircraft were evaluated to assist the Naval Air Systems Command in selecting an effective method of supporting the P-3C avionics. Two depot-support concepts were investigated, and a cost comparison of the concepts was performed for selected systems. The following two support concepts were compared: Use of Peculiar Ground Support Equipment (PGSE), and Use of Automatic Test Systems (ATS). The ATS was found applicable to most of the 30 avionic systems peculiar to the P-3C, and it was determined that ATS support could provide significant savings in cost and in requirements for space, personnel, and training. ATS support was recommended for 17 of the 30 P-3C avionic systems considered, and PGSE is recommended for the remaining systems. (Author)
